Make Portraits

A week or so ago, I posted about my venture to Sno Beach to see my pal, Alex. The visit yielded a really nice portrait of Alex in her natural, sticky-sweet summer habitat--the snow cone trailer. It also kickstarted the April month of portraits.

To quote myself (because it's finals time and I'm feeling lazy):
I posted a portrait each day during the month of April to my Instagram account (@victoriahaas). I initially wrote:

For the month of April, I'm going to try to post a portrait each day. You will get to meet my beautiful friends and some beautiful strangers.

I used hashtags like #makeportraits and #thesisportraits, and it has been a good daily challenge--encouraging both inspiration, creativeness, and consistency. Below are some of the portraits that I shot and posted to my instagram account during the month of April. Special thanks to all who posed for my little April side project.

Note: Several of the portraits posted also came from my thesis. There will be an extensive post on that a little bit later. Stay tuned.
